Apple Watch discounts aren't super common, so decent savings on Apple's wearable smartwatch are always worth flagging. This deal is one of the best Apple Watch discounts we've seen since the holidays, so it definitely has our attention.

For a limited time, Best Buy is offering the Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS+Cellular/44mm) for $329. This is $200 less than the regular price of $529, making it the strongest Apple Watch sale of the year.

The offer is valid for the GPS+Cellular model with a 44mm watch face and standard Sport band. It is available in black and white, but the black model is sold out.

While the Series 5 has been surpassed by the Series 6, it remains a very valuable technology that is more than viable in 2021. Even if it is not the newest model of wearables, it is still a bargain at this price.

We have always been big fans of the Apple Watch 5, and our review of the Apple Watch Series 5 proves it.

The best feature of the Series 5 is the addition of an always-on display, which allows you to read the watch face from any angle. The battery life of only 18 hours is perhaps the only minor drawback, but with the great software that is watchOS 6, we are willing to make the trade-off.

It also has built-in GPS capabilities, a surprisingly useful compass, and is fully waterproof, making it perfect for use in the gym or pool; after a few days of using the Apple Watch, you won't be able to go about your daily life without it.
